Men nabbed for trying to lift pizza from West Seattle elementary school

Three young men tried to relive their glory days early Monday by carrying out frozen pizza from Alki Elementary School, but were stopped by a security guard investigating a burglary at the building, according to police.

An alarm was tripped about 3:45 a.m. at the school, located in the 3000 block of 59th Avenue Southwest.

A security guard responded and discovered the back door to the kitchen was propped open, reports say.

The guard observed all the lights were off, so he waited outside for police.

Just then, three men walked outside carrying a frozen pizza.

The guard stopped the men – aged 18, 19 and 20 – and they waited with him for police to arrive.

The men claimed they were walking around inside the school and wanted to hang out on the roof, according to Seattle police. They took the pizza from the kitchen freezer.

Police booked the men into King County Jail for investigation of burglary.
